West Coast and East Coast

West Coast bassist Curtis Counce’s album “Landslide” is represented by two compositions, one by pianist Carl Perkins, Mia, and one by pianist Gerald Wiggins, A Fifth For Frank. The album, if you don’t have it, is available from the Concord Music Group (also individual tracks). Plus, we’ve posted a second version of the Wiggins title, as recorded by Cal Tjader (also available from Concord). As Don points out in the description, comparing and playing the two versions is very instructive. Landslide by Harold Land, from the same album, will be up next.

Also new to jazzleadsheets.com is composer/pianist Michael Cochrane from the NY/NJ area. Michael has played and recorded with Tom Harrell, Jack Walrath, Michael Brecker and many others. His composition Waltz No. 1 was recorded in a quintet format with Tom Harrell and Bob Malach. Flutist/lyricist Cheryl Pyle added a lyric, resulting in the beautiful Two Reflect As One, recorded by vocalist Gloria Cooper.
